New Mexican place on Forbes in Oakland -- Qdoba Mexican Grill

 I went there for lunch on its opening day.  It was fairly good, much
 better than that other 'authentic' Mexican place right across the
 street which is total crap (formerly Sultans, but they just changed
 their name to something else more mexican sounding this week, I guess
 to try to keep customers).

 All they serve are burritos, tacos, and salads.  It's nothing even
 remotely similar to Taco Bell, so I'm not sure what the other person
 who replied earlier is talking about.  The burritos are pretty big and
 taste ok, nothing ground breaking.  They are a tad expensive
 considering you get absolutely nothing else with it - no sides, prices
 range from 4.50 to 5.50 if I remember right, depending on what type of
 Burrito you order.  They do have some separate side orders like
 nachos, but I didn't fully look at that menu, not really all that
 much.

 I noticed it was super busy this week still (just opened last Friday)
 and they really don't have sufficient seating for the lunch crowd.  I
 think the novelty will wear off eventually and it will be a bit more
 reasonable.

 I'd go there again but its nothing so special I'd make a special trip
 to Oakland just to eat there.  The lunch buffet at La Fiesta is a much
 better value and I think is better tasting food overall - although the
 waitress is the slowest being on the planet and the sole reason I
 rarely go there.
